Dosh Dosh’s Technorati Favorite Experiment

April 10, 2007

This is an interesting aside to an already interesting blogging experience. The grand-daddy of all blog directories/search sites is none other than Technorati. They have added a Technorati favorite, and it seems like it is quite easy to get into the Top 100. I just read this very interesting experiment going on at Dosh Dosh blog where an ongoing experiment is being run to determine whether or not getting up in Technorati favorites will help a blog.

OK, you can try it too if you want. I have copied this from www.calvinwarr.com where he in turn copied the instructions from Dosh Doshâ€™s blog and YOU can follow it here:

1. Participate by Exchanging Favorites

This is fastest way to join the exchange program. Favorite my blog by clicking here and then please leave your Technorati username as well as a similar link to your blog in a comment.

Please leave a link to one blog only.

My Technorati nickname is VivienneQuek and I will favorite all the links as soon as possible. I wonâ€™t be leaving any comments to confirm this.

Please periodically check to see who has favorited your blog and do also let me know if Iâ€™ve left you out.

2. Link to this blog post with your Post on Technorati Favorites

This is only for those bloggers who are interested in holding Technorati exchanges on their blog as well. These are the steps you need to take:

Create a post on your blog announcing that you are exchanging Technorati favorites. Prominently include a link to this post to indicate that there is a similar exchange going on at Versa Creations and also over at Dosh Dosh and CalvinWarr.You can use any link text you want. I do however prefer that you make a new post on this topic instead of putting the link in a old post that is already deep in your archives.

Get a Link Back. Once Iâ€™ve noticed the link via trackback or Technorati, Iâ€™ll include a link to your post on Technorati favorites in this post itself so readers here can visit your blog to participate if they want to. I will also try to periodically highlight this post so it never gets lost in the archives.Links will usually be put up pretty quickly but if you didnâ€™t see your link up after a day or two, please feel free to leave a comment to flag this.
